These projects, with a combined capacity of 1.5GW, will be implemented through private sector investment, with the Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) acting as the offtaker under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) of up to 25 years.
Botswana currently consumes approximately 4,800 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity per year, with a peak demand of 680 megawatts (MW) and a base load of 400 MW. Demand is projected to rise by five percent annually, reaching 7, 000 GWh by 2040.
“Utility-scale projects by foreign private sector entities require at least 40% mandatory shareholding by Botswana citizen-owned companies. However, small-scale solar PV investments are reserved for 100% citizen-owned companies,” Kenewendo added.
The global solar folding container and energy storage container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with portable and outdoor power demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Solar folding container solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new portable solar installations worldwide.
